Chapter 500: Chapter 162: The Sense of Impact

"Oh dear, Senior Jin Cha is definitely Bibi Xi!"

Cyan Simurgh sometimes wondered if the girl in front of her was actually human.

She started having doubts since they went to the headquarters together.

Until now, Cyan Simurgh couldn’t forget that she was visiting the hospital at the headquarters to see her senior and Iris, and as soon as she entered the hospital, Xing Xuan ran straight to Iris’s room like a flash.

When she chased into the room, she witnessed a jaw-dropping scene—a series of four rings overlapped and hovered above Iris like steps leading to the sky, emitting dazzling lights akin to a disco. The TV on the wall was playing the Bunny Dance and the music of "Heaschenlied," while Iris lay serenely on the bed. Xing Xuan stood by the bed, leaning against the door, praying with a murmuring voice that seemed to mourn the deceased.

Then she suddenly opened her arms wide and shouted:

"Re—surrect—now—!"

"My—senior—!"

She immediately pulled her out under the astonished eyes of other magical girls.

Considering she was genuinely concerned about her dear friend in her own way, Cyan Simurgh wrestled with her thoughts for a long time before eventually deciding not to fuss over her offense.

After all, she was a mature, calm, steady, alert, honest, diligent, nostalgic, and courageous magical girl.

Until she led Xing Xuan into the senior’s room and took out the card given by her senior, reminiscing about her senior.

Xing Xuan exclaimed in a shocked and envious voice, "A Million-Year Soul Ring."

If it weren’t for other magical girls holding her back at that time, she probably would have really given this girl a beating.

She’d definitely give her a black eye.

Even so, during the journey, Xing Xuan was so terrified by her angry look that she didn’t dare to say much.

Xing Xuan was considered her junior. In fact, Cyan Simurgh didn’t know Xing Xuan very well; a bunch of juniors came from the headquarters every year.

At most, they had seen each other a few times.

However, Xing Xuan was quite famous because of her obsession with the Demon Fighting Continent, to the point of becoming a weirdo at the headquarters.

When they occasionally encountered each other, this girl was usually alone.

She mumbled phrases like "Soul Masters don’t train like this," "The three can’t be humiliated," and "To the end of the sky and underworld, the bright moon at the 24 Bridges," which left people baffled yet impressed.

No one wanted to associate with such an eccentric person, and Xing Xuan wouldn’t initiate contact with others either.

Except when talking about the Demon Fighting Continent, most of the time Xing Xuan liked to read novels alone, or concocted some mystical stories of her own.

Even Iris, usually carefree, had been scared away by Xing Xuan before.

During the journey back to the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau, watching Xing Xuan’s gloomy expression,

Cyan Simurgh’s anger also subsided. She contemplated whether to lighten the mood—after all, both of them were transfers from the Disaster Strategy Bureau to Beihai.

Now they even executed a task together, helping the Cyan Cloud Sect clear up misunderstandings with the Disaster Strategy Bureau.

It would be better to communicate more.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, and the mention of Senior Jin Cha came up, Xing Xuan immediately chimed in.

Although Cyan Simurgh didn’t know who Bibi Xi was, she knew it must be a character from the Demon Fighting Continent.

"Hmm, something seems off with Bibi Xi too. It seems like Senior Jin Cha isn’t the most powerful at the headquarters, maybe it’s Wan Renyu?"

"But Senior Jin Cha doesn’t know Senior Bai San at all, or Wandao Liu... So confused, we’re in a prequel timeline! It’s normal for Bai San and Wan Renyu not to know each other, but it doesn’t matter if the timelines are jumbled; even the order of Demon Fighting Continent 2 and Demon Fighting Continent 1 is unknown!"

"In any case, don’t bother clarifying the Demon Fighting Continent; even Ellexis is still alive..."

"Hey hey, Senior Cyan Simurgh, since we’re both artifact soul masters who defected from the Martial Spirit Hall, let’s get along well!"

She should never have talked to her!

A bit regretful for speaking up, Cyan Simurgh instinctively hugged a fluffy stuffed animal, letting out a gentle sigh.

She had grown used to Xiaobai’s presence, and at moments like this, it made her feel a bit lonely.

But regret was certainly out of the question.

She was, after all, a mature, calm, steady, alert, honest, diligent, nostalgic, courageous magical girl.

Yet in life, when the presence always by one’s side suddenly disappears, there will inevitably be a period of adjustment.

Next to her, Xing Xuan began to chatter again about the Demon Fighting Continent.

Things like how the Seven Freaks of Slime would definitely defeat the Disaster Strategy Bureau and save the world.

Her goal in joining the Cyan Cloud Sect was to become one of the Seven Freaks of Slime.

"Senior Cyan Simurgh, you also plan to become one of the Seven Freaks of Slime, right? After all, besides Jiang Yuhao having a million... ah!" Xing Xuan suddenly paused mid-excitement, then sheepishly smiled, "Sorry, senior, almost again..."

It was inexplicable.

Ignoring Xing Xuan, Cyan Simurgh hugged the plush toy and couldn’t help but think of her father. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After leaving the Heart Image Remains, she spoke to Dong Jun from the Cyan Cloud Sect about joining and then went home for a bit.

In just a few days, whether it was an illusion or something had happened, her father looked more haggard, as if he had aged ten years.

Originally, she didn’t need to tell her father about many things.

After all, it was just a pet that died. Just like her father said.

No matter how remarkable a pet is, it is just a pet. Saving Iris was already enough.

However, when her father really held her, comforting her, asking if she had encountered any danger, or if she felt wronged to talk to him about it.

Cyan Simurgh couldn’t hold back and broke down in tears in her father’s embrace.

She poured out everything she had experienced recently to her father.
